I know its probs easier to call up to the bodyshop but just wanted some prices from some people who may have had some bodywork done before or know some rough prices so that i know the bodyshop aint going to try get 1 over me >.<.
So just wondering anyone got rough idea on how much it will cost to sort out a light key scratch about 10cm long on the O/S back panel and the N/S wing where theres a lil scratch about 5cm long ?
srapy costs?

tim : hahaha talk about hidden agenda
yeah had chipsaway come last week and they told me £900 to sort it all out...the n/s scratch can be polished out though apparently and n/s wing would need to be touched up.. where as the offside back qrt needs spraying only on the area.
went to body shops im getting quoted £400.
And chipsaway claim to be cheaper then bodyshops ,... My bumcheeks to that

na mate definately £900...he was like ''erm this 1 is going to be bit expensive mate''...it needs 3 panels done...not any of the whole panel needs to be repsprayed..and bumped filled in and sprayed..
i got a quote from a body shop of £400 to sort it all out..which i still think is quite expensive if he is only going to just touch in the scratch on the n/s wing and back quarter.

ha ah go somewhere else, what has it to do with him what you do to the car, that in it'self is saying keep away from him.yosin wrote:yeah thats what i was thinking.. i got 1 quote from a guy to just do 1 panel for £300,,, and he started trying to lecture me about my coilovers and about being lowered...he was saying it doesnt improve anything...its just for show...etc etc..i was like lol
He may have quoted you huge cause he cant be arsed doing the job, go round a few body shops and not just one, and get various quotes and play them off.
But at end off day you pay for what you get!

depends who you know and are prepared to do some of the stripping down yourselfjordan eff wrote:if you can get a a good respray for less than £900 then dont expect the look of it to last long, for a decent one your talking £1200 above and for full strip down repaire paint and rebuild your looking at £2000
